What is Residential Care?
Residential support is offered to people living with complex and substantial support needs that may find it challenging to live independently on their own without dedicated support.
In a residential home, people with complex support needs share a welcoming and stimulating community-based environment where 24-7 support is always available. Each individual enjoys their own private bedroom while sharing access to communal areas like a living room, dining room or kitchen.
Each of these homes is well-equipped and carefully designed to support the needs of the people that live there. This could include special adaptations and equipment like sensory rooms, ceiling tracking, hoists or assistive technologies. Anything that allows the people we support to feel comfortable and safe in their surroundings.
Our Specialist Care
We are proud to provide specialist care and support to people with autism, learning disabilities, physical support requirements and complex behavioural needs. Some of our homes can also support people with secondary mental health needs. All our homes are run by experienced and highly-skilled staff dedicated to providing extraordinary support.
Our staff teams and registered managers are specialists in supporting people exhibiting behaviours that challenge. We provide all our staff with an intensive training programme based on our years of experience and the latest research-based strategies for supporting complex behavioural needs.
We recognise that challenging behaviours are often an individual’s way of communicating an unmet need or want. As part of our proactive and preventive approach, we use person-centred Positive Behaviour Support (PBS).
Positive Behavioural Support (PBS) is a compassionate and comprehensive approach aimed at identifying and meeting a person’s support needs. By looking beyond a person’s behaviour to understand the reasons for their distress and the way their environment may be impacting them, PBS allows the people we support to feel seen and heard.
